Ok, ill start by saying "hi"!, then i will proceed to say that i am a mad newb
and i have never stepped outside the bounds of the legendary console application
when it comes to c++.
That is what i have been taught so far.

but my question is; in the most basic sense, how on earth do u get c++
to output something on the screen, or to just, take control of screen with complete blackness, and place a white dot in the middle; something like that.

outside of my study, i wanted to get into some GUI's or just random graphics in my spare time, but all the love i get in google involves heaps of pre-written libraries. I know i wouldnt even be able to use a c++ ide without millions of lines
of other peoples code, but again, my question is, what is the MOST NATIVE means
of getting the graphics card to do something by urself!

can someone plz help me?
suggest a resource, or some sample code,

or a good NOT TO CONVINIENT library!

thx heaps for reading dudes!

Ooble

If you're using Windows, GDI is the closest you're gonna get. It's the native Windows graphics component, and everything is included in windows.h and windowsx.h.
